Hi!
A few days ago, my Jasjar's display started to become horizontal mirrored after I resume from standby. The screen flickers from normal to mirrored several times per second :-(
I can temporarily fix it by applying some pressure on the display border and doing a few stand-by/resume cycles but after all, that's really annoying. I'm quite sure that there's some kind of cable broke inside my Jasjar but unfortunately, my warranty's gone and I have to repair it by myself.
Has anyone done something similar? Which spare parts might be needed? How much might it cost if I'll send it to an authorized Imate dealer?
Any help would be greatly appreciated ...
Greetings,

Mine did exactly the same thing and was replaced under warranty from t-mobile, my guess was it was dry solder as opposed to a broken cable.
Not much help I know, but you're not alone in having the problem
Oh, if it's a dry solder, I guess I'm out of luck and the mainboard needs to be replaced :-(
So I'm going to find some very small screwdrivers and take a look inside.

this was a failure that was common on early pocketpc. i guess somethings never change

sorry to ask but how come you're already out of warranty? your device can't be 1 year old yet. :shock:
My Jasjar did the exact same thing. Unfortunately, I bought it from a betch on eBay who did not tell me they were having problems with the unit. The device did the flickering for about a week as I was trying to get in touch with iMate and the seller (which I was unsuccessful with both), and then quit flickering. Unfortunately, the device has other problems now, as the screen is unresponsive for the first few seconds after startup.

isn't the IMEI enough for the warranty?

it definitely *should* be enough but I've found no i-Mate service point here in Germany willing to do it for free
But now I've found a company which told me to repair my jasjar for about 30 EUR plus spare parts (which, I hope, doesn't involve a new display for about 200 EUR )

OK thanks for the details in advance.
The mirror fault is due to over driving the display unit more than 180 degrees. Flex cable is damaged.
As such I understand they wont cover this in warranty since this is caused by the user twisting the display 380 degrees or even more.
Seen one particular unit which had one (1) cable left out of the whole bundle this flex consist of!

Okay, now I've got my Jasjar back (about 6 days after I've send it) and it's working great 8)
They've charged me 39 EUR (and 6 EUR for shipping and handling) which sounds really fair to me. Their address is http://www.handy21.de but unfortunately, the site is only german.

like all of you I want my JAM to look as great as possible. it does not help that I'm prone to dropping it once a week. Anyone know what I need to do to get the cover replaced or where I can get the parts from.
I've done some internet searching and have come up empty.

You'll need to trim the IMEI back plate to fit but it's easy enough to do.

Hi. My special needs son used a set of keys as a stylus and has made a couple of holes in the screen. I am in the UK and can buy a new screen for £65 on eBay but can find no instructions for fitting it. The firm will fit it for me but this cost an extra £25.
Anyone help me out please with some information?
Thanks,
Doug
Can get a replacement if I knew how to fit it! Anyone know please?

It's amazing what you can find if you use the SEARCH function instead of bumping your own post the same day....if you were that desperate for it try searching yourself next time?....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43836
In fact, my friend, I used the search function before I did anything and it came up with about a thousand hits of which the first hundred were no good!
I am quite desperate for this information, hense the bump before it went off the page. Keep smiling.....
Doug
Learn to use the search engine? It came up straight away if you use the 'all words' function....and I attached the link for you but you obviously haven't realised as 'you are' desperate for the info not 'you were'...
Oh well. I'd just pay the £25....
Thanks for the link anyway. I have downloaded it but it looks so complicated, I will pay someone to do it anyway.
Sorry to be a bit sarky, the link was appreciated.

Another reason to get the screen vendor to fit the screen is that there are 2 possible screens for the wizard - unless you have opened the phone before purchase you will not know which, so if they post you 'a' wizard screen you may get the wrong one and I doubt they'll take it back. If you send them your device it's their problem if it's the wrong one, just watch they don't blame your board for being faulty and try and charge you anyway.
Some vendors sell magician screens saying they fit wizards and this is true in some cases but not all. The 'wrong' screen will display strange colours and look washed out or not display anything.
From experience, most ebay screen vendors etc don't actually know this.
For the total price ( £90) why not try HTCEuropes's service dept if you have a t-mobile vario? They don't touch o2 devices and may be slightly more than £90 but they will fit the correct screen and your warranty will not be invalidated.
Hello everybody,
my acer S200's gotten the gps cable cut.

Thank you very much.
i have a bricked S200, unable to turn on.

OOHHH reallyy?? have you the jack audio piece for me? I really need it, its a black piece which can be detached easily if you remove the top cover (at top of the battery) there are some guide here which explain how to take out the cover.
Hope you can do that for me...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=742642
on the second picture, at the top, there are two screws (red circle) + one little in the middle (not surronded). If you remove those 3 screws, then you can remove the plastic cover and inside there is the speaker and the jack audio (what I need) piece with delicate pins. but if you think its more convenient to sent the whole phone thats ok too
I live in Italy .
I only need the little gps cable that connects the motherboard to the gps antenna

You have to belive there are really great improvements in signal stability and reception,i can say about 70%.I ve read in a italian forum that someone asked acer about this mod,and after some mails someone at the acer assistance asked their engineers to test this mod;they confirmed the improvement,and even that this mod maybe doesn t void the warranty,because you have not to open the phone.Finally they said they would report about this to acer Europe to have final confirmation.After this mail no new reply.Maybe Acer won t admit fault

well netnerd , believe me or not, but gps signal after mod DOES indeed improve a lot. Anyway Arto's not referring to that mod guide.
Arto, if I find I can't fix my problem , I will be happy to give you my device.
Netnerd, if you don't use it, you could send-sell the device to me or Arto, after that we could share the pieces needed. Unfortunately I live in Europe.

i removed all the screws, i still can not open it to get the parts you guys needed. want the whole phone? i only charging shipping cost (13.50 USD to italy). phone comes with battery!
if you or arto want to pay the shipping cost, email me!
well....that would be AWESOME !!
The only thing's that Italy has some restrictions about vat, well anyway the tax' calculated only on the assured price so I should be ok.
Well, After that I could send the piece to Arto .
Well Netnerd....that would be really awesome, thanks.

What a load of crap HTC products are. i am so f'in sure of this now. Never ever saw this happening to any other product of any other company!
I just got the same problem.! i had protector on, and took care of it well, note ven using it much from past month. But still it happened. Its called 'Norton Rings'. I just posted the same problem.
have you solved the problem? I sent an email to htc assistence and they
have suggested me to try to do an hard reset: can you tell me how you solved the question.
thank you

Actually its called Newton Rings and the only way to fix this is a repair, sorry. I had one with one with my Touch Diamond2 and bought a replacement touchscreen from ebay (hongkong) and repaired it myself.
One Touch2 is still waiting for his replacement (shipping takes a loooooooooooooong time...), but the disassembly is easy.
BTW, its a warranty issue, maybe that helps.

3 Beeps on previous galaxies usually meant over heating. Sounds like a hardware fault not software. Return it if you can. Or use a different battery, battery might be damaged.
You should be able to go through Samsung directly to have it replaced.

Just remove battery an check voltage you shold have 3.7 volts or more if is below 3.3 V you need to charge the battery somehow. Leve your phone with no battery for a hour or two. Put back your battery and try to boot your phone. It did happen to me and after many attempts was start working again.
